It's very simple, once all of the iSheep blindly buy whatever next version of the iPhone is, regardless of zero innovation or a slightly faster processor or better screen, there is a spike when it comes out. However, the rest of the world know that the iPhone is no longer the best and has switched to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy series and HTC One series and will consistently buy the best phones all the time and regain the marketshare a couple of months after the iSheep are saturated.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515a4621eab8eaa152000004Mr. DickmanMon, 01 Apr 2013 22:44:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515a4621eab8eaa152000004
Yeah, my wife leaves hers in vibrate mode. Her phone rings and rings, yet she never answers?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159ebbfecad04252c00000dThePostalnatorMon, 01 Apr 2013 16:19:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159ebbfecad04252c00000d

article was about android, not samsung. above has nothing to do with the article and what it was saying. both the yankee group's assessment of the situation and the article can coexist, i dont see how one thing negates the other or how they "see it differently"
first quotation also makes me laugh because thats exactly the change from the 4s to the 5, just found that to be funny that thats a point against SS considering apple does exactly that, another iteration of the same phone, slightly larger and faster. hilarioushttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159dc43eab8eacc12000007cause kkMon, 01 Apr 2013 15:13:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159dc43eab8eacc12000007
bc it's falling behind and lagging fast, which is newsworthy as they tout themselves as being at the forefront of the market, yet that couldnt be farther from the truth considering other companies just do it better and think about the customer by not charging ridiculous margins so they can horde cash, perhaps?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159c3a5ecad04ee5e000008todddMon, 01 Apr 2013 13:28:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159c3a5ecad04ee5e000008
iPhone 6 will be in jail-jumpsuit orange.....take that Android!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159c2e569bedd3d1a000001If...Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:24:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159c2e569bedd3d1a000001
If the Apple and the iPhone are yesterday's news, why are you and the rest of BI continuing to talk about it non stop?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159c0a46bb3f79a50000008John TillmanMon, 01 Apr 2013 13:15:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159c0a46bb3f79a50000008
iPhone is old news. My android is very open ( by open I mean - I can open the back of the phone) and powerful - it cooks for me, cleans my house, drives my car and massages my back at night..http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159b9beecad04094d000001InvestorMon, 01 Apr 2013 12:45:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159b9beecad04094d000001
The Yankee group see it differently;

"While Samsung updated the internals and the software, the S IV is just another iteration on the Galaxy design to be slightly bigger, faster and with a few new apps," noted the firm's VP of Research Carl Howe.
"We fully expect the Galaxy S IV to be an excellent flagship phone for Samsung, but Yankee Group doesn’t see the S IV allowing Samsung to gain ground against Apple in the crucial U.S. market."
"Howe's firm plotted various manufacturers' smartphone ownership share against consumers' reported intent to buy in future purchases, creating a graph (above) that depicts Apple leading in both categories, and the only smartphone manufacturer within "gaining share" territory.
Based on data collected in the Yankee Group’s March 2013 US Consumer Survey, "only about 15 percent of consumers intend to buy a Samsung phone within the next six months, while 40 percent intend to buy Apple iPhones within that period," the firm reported."
"That’s actually a slight decline from the December quarter. Further, Samsung isn’t generating the same kind of brand loyalty that Apple owners have; in that same survey, only 61 percent of Samsung owners intend to buy another Samsung as their next smartphone; that contrasts dramatically with 85 percent of Apple iPhone owners intending to buy another iPhone,"
"Unless Samsung works very hard to change consumers’ minds in the next six months, we actually see Apple gaining ownership share on Samsung in the U.S. in 2013 rather than the other way around."http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159b82969bedddd7b000001freddy beeMon, 01 Apr 2013 12:39:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159b82969bedddd7b000001
Parlato says Android gained share thanks to price drops on Samsung phones
oh, yes... it couldn't be that android phone manufacturers were offering more options in terms of form factors, less closed systems, and overall an OS and hardware allowing owners to make unique device decisions... it's simply that Samsung discounted some phones... #youwish
